Who would've thought that the dreams come true? 
And who would've thought I ended up with you? 
And who would've thought what they said was true? 
But it was and you are, lighted darkness come through  
 
Silhouetted palm trees backing it up against the sky 
Echo Park sunset, an ambulance drives by 
But someone went down 
And I wonder who 
Faces flash forward, it could be anybody I knew  
 
So I drank like a fish and I crawled like a rat  
Through the city of shit I ended up on my back 
But I can't believe you're with me after dark 
So let it come together in Echo Park  
 
And I say 
Who would've thought that the dreams come true? 
And who would've thought I ended up with you? 
And who would've thought what they said was true? 
But it was and you are, lighted darkness come through  
 
A red flag and your body wins  
Or a snake bite, gotta start again  
So I'm fucked up and watching TV all day  
I don't wanna see what Ricki Lake gotta say  
 
And it hits me when I'm alone, I'm an angry man 
I start singing to myself I got dealt a shitty hand 
With all these feelings my heart could explode  
So is it not fear, knowing it all  
 
And I say 
Who would've thought that the dreams come true? 
And who would've thought I ended up with you? 
And who would've thought what they said was true? 
It was and you are, lighted darkness come through  
 
Nah nah nah nah nah  
 
Who would've thought that the dreams come true? 
And who would've thought I ended up with you? 
And who would've thought what they said was true? 
But it was and you are, lighted darkness come through
